Hey all- I have a deal pending on a Viper so the Supra needs to go to a new home to make room for the snake. I've only owned this car since March and have put less than a thousand miles on it- she's a total garage queen. I purchased this Supra from a friend of mine in Pittsburgh who took it in trade from Micah (Renegades) on a Porsche 996 Turbo back in February '09. This Supra has over $30k in upgrades & preventative maintenance! I have most of the receipts for both the mods and services.
Here's the original ad from Supraforums member Renegades: (for my personal updates scroll down- not much has changed since I've owned it except a few cosmetic improvements)

My father purchased this Supra from a Supraforums.com member this past winter from Califonia. It has been an absolute blast to own and drive. We've decided to take another path in our car choice, so the Supra is going up for sale.
We have spent a lot of time and money getting this car in tip top shape. It is being professionally detailed this week, as well as going to the shop to be completely checked over to make sure everything is solid and good to go for the next owner. We have never tracked or drag raced this Supra; it has been used as a weekend car for enjoyable cruises.
The exterior has a few scratches and minor minor dents - due to it's age. Many of the surface scratches will be gone once the detail shop is finished with it. The pain is in excellent condition - this car has never been in one accident - no body panels have ever been repained. CLEAN carfax history, and all VINs match.
This is an extremely nice, strong Supra. It certainly deserves to go to another Supra enthusiast! Again, the factory paint is in superb condition!!
Interior wise, the car is in great condition as well!! The week we received the car we sent it to the shop for ALL new OEM Toyota carpet (even trunk carpet) - we replaced several console/dash panels, leather shifter boot, ash tray, etc. The seats are the only thing in the interior that shows age, they have some wear/wrinkles on them.
Engine: at around 85k miles, a BL67DBB turbo kit w/ a .68 a/r housing was installed on this Supra. (I have a the receipt from Boost Logic for the whole kit). The engine was fully built with ALL NEW FACTORY seals, o-rings, gaskets, etc. The head was sent out to be hot tanked and cleaned. The valve stem seals were also replaced at that time along with the valves being adjusted to toyota OE spec. The previous owner had a buddy - toyota/honda/DSM guru help him out through the install. The transmission also shifts very smoothly and has no grinding issues.
The car was dyno'd in California and made 486whp@17.9psi. Stock fueling. Still very conservative and very reliable. With further tuning this car could easily see 500whp+ with the stock fueling still. And no doubt it could make 700whp with fueling.
Overall, this Supra is extremely strong and reliable. This is Rich's (from Supraforums) old Supra that was originally purchased in Roseville, Californiai. The body is all original, the interior is in great shape, and mechanically the car is very sound it just needs to be tuned. It's fast, but yet controllable, and it has a FRESH motor!! - all this car needs is a fueling upgrade (~$2k) and it'll be ready to lay down at least 700whp.

Current Updates:
Since I've had the car I've gone over it inside and out with a fine tooth comb. I got the front bumper redone, and shaved the front plate holder. I also removed the side clips. LOOKS GREAT! I also had the Seats Re-dyed black! They look great as well! Then I put a 3 step clay/polish/wax orbital cleaning on the paint, and detailed the interior.
This is what the car currently needs for it to be 100% PERFECT:
-oil catch can needs the tubing rerouted for a cleaner look
-fresh spark plugs
-custom tune for MAP ECU ( I recommend upgrading to a AEM, Motec, or HKS engine management system for a more comprehensive tuning platform in order to get the most out of this car. This would be my next step if I keep the car.)
I'm in absolutely no rush to sell this rare gem so please don't lowball me or waste my time, or your own. Anyone who knows Supra's already knows this is a great find, with well documented & clean history at a fair price considering the current economic conditions. I'd love to see the car go to an enthusiast so I'm putting it up on a few of the forums first and then ebay/autotrader after a few weeks.
Please no trades, tirekickers, dreamers, etc. No test drives unless you have cash in hand or a bank check that can be verified. I have title in hand.
I'm looking to get $34,000 OBO. I'm willing to negotiate with serious buyers and will consider reasonable offers to make a quick sale. Thanks for looking and sorry for the long read but I wanted to be as thorough as possible. More pics of the car can be found here:
A Raw Classic: Supra turbo MKIV
The new owner will be amazed by how clean this Supra is. I was shocked when I first saw it because I've seen a lot of 97-98's that don't look nearly this nice- especially in black. Unfortunately I cant put it on Supra Forums yet because of my low post count but I'm going to work with the mods to get the ad up asap.
